CURTAIN-FIXTU RE.

SPECIFICATION forming' part of Letters Patent No. 633,815,dated September 26, 1899. Application led April 15, 1897. Seriarltaesmai. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known thatI, HENRY S. DAVIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Seymour, in the county of Wayne and Siateoflowa,have

invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Fixtures; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of 'the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which The invention contemplates a particular 2o construction 0E the brackets which are employed in supporting the shade-roller and curtain-pole. v

Having the above object inview, the invention consists in making the fixtures of Wire,

z5 the wire forming the brackets being given certain peculiar bends to provide the rests or bearings for the roller and pole and other bends which allow of a degree of elasticity to the inclined support or brace, all as Will be 3o hereinafterfully set forth, and specifically recited in the claim, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings and to numerals which designate the different parts.

In the drawings forming part of this specication, Figure l is a perspective View showing the application of my improved fixtures. Fig. 2 is a detail View of one of the brackets which support the shade-roller and pole.

As hereinbefore mentioned, the fixtures 4o which are constructed in accordance with my invention are made of wire of the proper gage which will bend freely and at the same time possess suiiicient strength for the purposes to which the fixtures are adapted. In forming the brackets which support the ,shade-rollers a piece of'wire ot suitable length is used and its end bent to form eyes 1 l at right angles with the body of the wire. Adjoining one of these eyes the wire is bent or looped to present the recess or bearing 2, the outer memscrews pass and ber of the loop being extended upward beyond the end portion adjoining the eye, and is then bent into a curve 3 of the proper arc, the outer end of said curve or are being above the plane of its inner end, and from said arc the wire is bent into a peculiar shape to form the support or brace which terminates in the other eye at the opposite end of the Wire. In forming this brace the Wire is curved outward from the arc 3 and is formed into a number of separate coils e, which extend alternately in opposite directions and practically form springs, as well as present an ornamental brace. By this manner of bending the Wire which forms the brackets the eyes l 1 will be on a vertical line with each other and.pre sent the holes through which the retaining` the bends 2 and 3 present proper bearings for both the shade-roller and curtain-pole, the latter resting Within the curve or arc 3, While the projecting pins of the former rest within the loop 2, which adjoins the arc, but is on a lower plane. The part of the wire which forms the brace for the horizontal portion presenting the bearings is bent into the rcoils disposed yas shown and hereinbefore described in-order that any undue tension orpull upon eitherthe shaderoller or curtain-pole will allow the brackets to give, and thereby save the curtains or tend to prevent accident to the same.

A clamp or holder for the draw-cord of a curtain-shade is illustratedin Fig. l, conveniently formed ot a piece ot Wire bent upon itself to present eyes 5-5 and terminals 6 6, Which serve as 'a cleat or hook forv the drawcord.

From the foregoing description in connection with the accompanying drawings it will be apparent that I provide curtain-natures which can be cheaply constructed and at the same time possess the desired strength with other qualifications required in this line.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters `A curtain fixture or bracket made up of a single piece of wire, the ends of which are bent into eyes and stand in planes at'rigi-rt angles to the adjacent parts of the bracket,

ICO

the wire being depressed or looped adjoining; being alternately extended on opposite sides Io the uppermost eye and extending upward of the said brace, substantially as described. from said loop and bent into an arc of a cir- In testimony whereof I have signed this cle, the outer end of which is above the plane specification in the presence of two subscribof the inner end, and from which the said ing Witnesses.

Wire is further bent in separate coils which HENRY S. DAVIS. form an inclined resilient and ornamental brace that terminates in the eye at the lower part of the bracket, the said separate coils Witnesses:
